Chip carving is a wonderfully direct and simple way to decorate furniture, cabinets, boxes, plaques and utensils. Wayne Barton, a master of the Swiss style of chip carving, shows you step by step how you can beautify a number of objects using very few tools. You'll learn about: tools and the basic border cuts, decorative designs like gothic rosettes and lace borders, roman lettering, and creating script monograms.

Wayne Barton has published more than fifty stories, including two western novels. He has received the Spur Award and the Medicine Pipe Bearer's Award from the Western Writers of America. He and his wife, Maggie have two children.
